In the age of large galley fleets and an expanding Ottoman Empire, the mighty defences of the Republic of Venice protected faraway territories in the Mediterranean, and some of the largest and best preserved Renaissance fortifications are found on the former Venetian islands. This book illustrates in detail the impressive defences of Cyprus, Crete and Corfu, their design and their war record.
